People can’t unhear hilarious misunderstanding over Michael Caine’s name
People mistook Michael Caine’s name for something so hilariously uncharacteristic, and fans are loving it.

After seven decades of starring in some of the greatest movies of all time, he is finally leaving his time on screen behind him and will enjoy retirement.

Throughout his life, he has won many awards, including two Oscars.
Talking to the BBC about ending on a high note, he said: “I keep saying I’m going to retire.
“Well I am now.
“I’ve figured, I’ve had a picture where I’ve played the lead and had incredible reviews.
“The only parts I’m liable to get now are 90-year-old men. Or maybe 85.
“They’re not going to be the lead.
“You don’t have leading men at 90, you’re going to have young handsome boys and girls.
“So I thought I might as well leave with all this.”
He has appeared in more than 130 films in his career, with some highlights being Batman, Interstellar, Inception, and even the Muppets Christmas Carol.
Talk about a man that can play a range of different roles!
During an appearance on the Graham Norton show, Caine told a hilarious story about a hostess that pronounced his name wrong, and fans can’t unhear it.
He said: “I was making a picture in the Philippines, and we’re in Manila, and we were invited to this very posh and expensive house for a party.
“I’m being introduced to people and getting a drink and all that.
“And the hostess is standing over there, and she’s looking at me rather nastily, considering I am a guest.
“So I went over to her, and she said ‘are you a drug dealer?’
“And I said no, why do you ask?
“She said, ‘why is everyone calling you my cocaine?’
Fans in the audience couldn’t hold back their laughter, and when the video was posted to TikTok, the comments section was filled with people loving the story.
One wrote: “Michael Caine, what a legend, he’s great!”
Another wrote: “Hahaha that made me weak!”
A third commented: “Love, love, LOVE this story.”
The last ever film to cast Michael was The Great Escaper, which came out at the beginning of October, and has received 79% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The film is about a World War 2 veteran who escapes out of his care home to attend an anniversary commemoration of the D-Day landings.
